"Tens of millions." Trump likes big numbers.

Could some of those millions include this:
Musk cited some "crazy things" that had emerged in just the "cursory examination of Social Security" his team was undertaking.

"We've got people in there that are 150 years old," Musk said Feb. 11. "Now, do you know anyone who's 150? I don't, OK. They should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. … I think they're probably dead, is my guess, or they should be very famous, one of the two."

[...]

Under an international standard called ISO 8601, a missing value for a date is coded as May 20, 1875, because that was the date of an international standards-setting conference held in Paris, known as the "Convention du Mètre."

For that reason, under some coding systems, a missing value for a date will default to 1875 — which in the year 2025 produces a round figure of 150.
